If you are a female, it does not hurt so bad, only when they put it in.
If you are a male, it CAN hurt a lot, i watched it on YouTube, it made a man, like 50 or 60, wimper AND scream. BUT if you relax, you WILL still feel it, but it is not as scary!
I have heard only the entering and taking it out hurts. inside, it feels like A LOT of preasure. You may feel the tube. it tickles alittle.
I guess catheters hurt to everybody, but it is nothing to worry about.
it takes 10 minutes usually.
if you are a male, they put this stuff over your penis, so it makes it COLD, really cold, BUT it helps the pain.
if you are a female, they dont numb it. females.... well, it does not reallt hurt to females. a man has a much more sencitive private place.
Besides, usually the people who do it are female nurses, and they remind you to breath in, lay back, and relax.
so, do not worry. it is like knives going up ur penis or vagina.
but it is NOT as bad as it seems.
